Kim (my wife of almost 23 years)
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm’d;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimm’d;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest;
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
Sonnet 18, William Shakespeare
What a lovely portrait!! Did you take it, Rich?
ReplyDeleteI did take this portrait. I was setting up the studio lighting and background in a small schoolroom to take pictures of a group of church leaders. I asked Kim to sit for me so I could take some readings. This was the result.
ReplyDeleteShe's such a babe!
